Niepoort Bairrada – a name whispered with reverence amongst serious sparkling wine aficionados. This isn’t your average fizz; it’s a testament to the region’s exceptional chalky soils and the traditional Bical, Cercial, and Maria Gomes grapes. Crafted in a style reminiscent of the Quinta de Baixo’s classic, intensely dry “Água Viva,” this brut boasts a remarkably long six-year aging *sur lie* – a period that’s undoubtedly contributed to its incredible complexity. Expect a wine that demands attention, best paired with rich, fatty dishes like roasted suckling pig or slow-cooked lamb, truly rewarding the patient drinker.
